@AllNewTypeFace@Tau A similar problem with US northeast corridor rail: old track design, curves, lack of funding or availability of right of way to build modern infrastructure with gentle curves supporting higher speeds. Geography combined with buildings and 100 year old development that can’t be easily changed.
nah, if it was on the agenda ot would happen. the US doesn’t have any problem displacing poor people and spending trillions. this type of project would hurt auto and air travel too much to be really considered
Australia has it easier, as most of the land is rural or undeveloped. But then again, it’s Australia, a country where the unofficial national motto is “she’ll be right mate”. We don’t really do long-term planning there.
